As we all know, the best way to recover from broken bones is to build a new race bike...
So with a broken shoulder and a bit of down time on my hands, please make welcome my new 2017 S1000RR, project race bike:




It's had a front end impact so that will all need to come apart and see what's what.
At the very least, it's going to need a new fork tube, and the fork foot has it's fender support snapped off.




Closer inspection also reveals the likely crash cause.... Tyre Shine on the ride surface!!




Stripped back most of the rest of the road gear and all in all, not too much else to rectify before starting the conversion.




Happily it came with the dash, ECU and key, so booting it up, it was great to find it's barely run in!




The oem setup, whilst being Euro 6 compliant, manages 200HP in road trim. This will be a great platform on which to build a race bike!!
